Today is the fifth anniversary of Donny Everett's passing

Post by AuricGoldfinger »

And I thought it would be good to repost this story from Michael Lananna (previously of Baseball America, now with The State newspaper in Columbia, SC) titled "Born to be a VandyBoy," about Donny.

RIP Donny. We miss you.

Although I've read this story, or other accounts of this incident, a dozen times or more, it still gets to me. If you can read this and not get a lump in your throat, you're not human, and you're certainly not a Vandy fan.

A truly, truly sad day. He touched lots of people and is sorely missed.
No man knows the number of his days.
